A recent report by the Center for Automotive Research has shown that the big three are now paying more to white collar workers than to hourly wage earners.
The statistics show that the 66,000 salaried white collar workers make 8 billion a year, while the nearly 115,000 blue collar hourly workers make 7.9 billion in wages. There have been signs that the next round of cost cutting measures may come from the white collar types.
